Sorry if this is in the wrong section. My brother has just passed his test this morning, he hasn't brought a car yet and insurance seems to be really high for new drivers (understandable). My question is does anyone know any decent insurance companies for young new drivers? He wants a MK3 Polo but TPFT insurance on his own for a 1.0l is around 1800 Cheers Nick
make sure he gets quotes with your mum, dad and you added. do them one at a time to see which bring it down (just incase 1 bumps it up) as this shows it to be a "sensible family car." also tpft may be a false economy, I always found the difference between fully comp and tpft to be 30-40 ish at most and in some cases it was more expensive than fully comp! (my old broker explained that some companies view it as a sign you dont care about your car and just want to be leagal). also money supermarket are running some good money off deals at the moment. I tried calling the best couple of insurers from their site direct but they couldn't beet the quotes offered so I broke the habit of a life time and booked via them instead.
its expensive where ever you go! i was driving my mums 1.0 suzuki siwft and that was 900 quid third party on my mums name!! now ive neally got a year no claims i pay 1400 fully comp on my gti and i turned 18 in july
Thanks for the replies chaps. When i passed my test nearly 7 years ago i was paying 1000 on a mk4 Escort and my mate was paying just over 2000 for a 1.4 mk3 Golf CL. He's on mums insurance at the mo and driving around in her year old 1.2 clio which is 50 a month for both of them. Does anyone know of any places that will let you use your motorbike no claims or don't they allow it anymore? I'm sure years ago you could use bike no claims when insuring a car @ 17. I may be wrong as always tho
thought id bump this one up as my little bros in this boat now, hes taking his test in a week bit the cheapest insurance for his 1.0l mk3 polo is 1500 tft! its mental!
